Title:
Beer Tasting 51: Zywiec from Poland

Description:
Dzień dobry! Stolat! I was introduced to Zywiec along with another beer called Okocim when I worked briefly in Poland back in 1990 and 1991. I was told the two were good quality household Polish piwo (beer) that I had to try. 'Mr. Zywiec' and I parted for a good 12+ years and then we had a reunion when they started to import my old Polski friend to British Columbia a few years back! Zywiec is a Polish larger. It came with a light straw colour and a nose of honey, citrus, grain and sweet corn syrup although I believe no corn was employed in this brew. The mouth feel is soft / smooth and the taste is grainy, faintly fruity and biscuity that resembles some of the low hopped Japanese beer. However, the hop presence is here in this one leaving a sharp, positive astringent finish. Pretty good! Till next time! do widzenia! cześć!

Beer Tasting 54: Krusovice Imperial from Czech Republic
The Royal Brewery of Krušovice is one of the oldest breweries in the Czech Republic. The brewery was established in 1517. Krusovice Imperial is their pilsner style larger which started to appear in Vancouver, BC, Canada about 2 years ago. This bronze colour beer gave a dry hay, grainy, biscuit nose with a faint hint of hop but the grainy characters seemed to dominate the hop level. It was relatively light and clean but didn't have the floral hoppiness of the Budvar or the power of the Pilsner Urquell. The mouth feel was soft and gentle followed with biscuit, malt and corn characters but the hop was slowed to reveal then suddenly, a film of sharp, astringent hop mixed bitter lemon or citrus oil characters played the catch up game. It carried a medium finish neither too malty nor too hoppy. Another good quality beer from the famed brewing country! (Rating 88-90 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.

Beer Tasting 23: Budvar or Czechvar from Czech Republic
This ORIGINAL Budweiser is from Ceske Budjovice, Czech Republic. It's utterly ironic that it's NOT ALLOWED by to be called Budvar here in Canada because some American brewery says it might be confused with their King of Pi$$ - an imposter that doesn't even resemble to the slightest! Why why why do people still get their 6 packs of pi$$ on a regular basis?!?! Perhaps it's marketing and branding or being brain washed. Don't they have taste buds?!?! The beer has a beautiful light bronze colour with a flowery, floral, biscuity nose. The medium body beer offers smooth bubbles and yet it's clean, crisp and clean. With more floral, honey, sweet malt beautifully mixed with a focused, clean, skunky bitterness (Saaz hop). The finish is sweet and bitter again with subtle complexity. This beer is suitable to be drunk on a typical hot summer day, after a hearty run or can be drunk with a good Chinese hot pot or with a good Indian Butter Chicken! Beer don't have to be dark and heavy. Wines don't have to be red and robust. Whisky do not have to be smokey and heavily casked. There is always an occasion to savour a gem like this!
